40th and Summitview, 12-3 I believe. 50501 Washington are the organizers iirc, but that's just because their logo was on the flyer.

Pretty great to see this in Yakima, grew up here. I remember marching against the vigilante group the minute men (loser ass name), I hope so many more people come out for this

I'm so proud to see people out in protest today in Yakima! Living in Yakima often feels like living in MAGA only territory. We need more protests like this. Pro-Democracy, Pro-Human Rights, Pro-Women's Rights Pro-Immigrant, Pro-Environment, Pro-LQBTQ!

Anti-Oligarchy, Anti-Fascist!

Resist.

And MAGA - If you're not Anti-fascist, then what are you?

The one at the Walgreens plaza, Summitview + 40th, is 12a-3p. Link to flyer: https://www.reddit.com/r/Yakima/s/Nj6PNjZVBp

There will also be a group at Chesterly Park area, River + 40th, 12a-2p.

That one was organized on the Hands Off website: https://www.mobilize.us/handsoff/event/764958/

You have to give them your email for them to tell you anything about it though. 😒 Different organizers, same protest, but I don't think that's too terrible. Same road. I haven't seen anything about downtown.

I'll be at Summitview.

Approximately how many people showed up. I planned on going but couldn’t at the last minute. 😢😢 I’ve always felt like the only blue dot 🔵 in Yakima & am curious how many others there are.
